The situation at the end of the period, however, could not have been more different: even before the violence of the Second World War, the cosmopolitan avant-garde had largely abandoned Paris, driven out by nationalism, xenophobia, and intolerance Foreign Modernism investigates this tense and transitional moment for both modernism and European multiculturalism by looking at the role of foreigners in Paris's artistic scene. Examining works of literature, sculpture, ballet and performing arts, music, and architecture, Ihor Junyk combines cultural history with contemporary work in transnationalism and diaspora studies. Junyk emphasizes how eþmigreþ artists used radical new forms of art to resist the culture of virulent nationalism taking root in France, and to articulate new forms of cosmopolitan identity."--Pub. desc Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 155-167) and index Notes English Subject Arts, French -- France -- Paris -- Foreign influences Arts, French -- France -- Paris -- 20th century Immigrants -- France -- Paris -- Intellectual life -- 20th century Noncitizens -- France -- Paris -- Intellectual life -- 20th century Cultural pluralism -- France -- Paris -- History -- 20th century ART -- Performance.
